Write a short passage on your group's discussion about whether it is worth the risk of climbing Qomolangma.
Homework
Sample
Our group recently discussed whether it is worth the risk to climb Mount Everest, also known as Qomolangma. Despite the dangers involved, we believe that climbing this mountain can be incredibly rewarding.
Climbing Qomolangma teaches us to challenge ourselves. It pushes our physical and mental limits, helping us discover strengths we never knew we had. The journey up the mountain is filled with obstacles, but overcoming them builds resilience and confidence.
Moreover, it cultivates a sense of adventure. Standing at the top of the world's highest mountain gives us a thrill that is unmatched by any other experience. It reminds us to embrace uncertainty and step out of our comfort zones.
In conclusion, while climbing Qomolangma is indeed risky, the personal growth and sense of achievement it brings make it worth the challenge for many of us teenagers.
